Stampede2 will be unavailable for a four-day period beginning Friday, 20 Oct 2017 at 8 am CDT. This extended outage will allow: (1) full system science and benchmarking runs; as well as, (2) configuration, integration, and testing activities to prepare for Stampede2 “Phase 2” deployment.

Phase 2 will feature the addition of 1,736 “Skylake” Xeon nodes to the system. Stampede2 will be completely unavailable during the maintenance window. We expect to reopen the KNL nodes to general use by 6 pm, Monday, 23 Oct 2017.
